I'm not sure I can help with your problem getting it running, but I
can certainly help getting it built :-)

In addition to getting the DRI cvs on your machine, you need to grab
the latest Mesa source code. Set your CVSROOT to:

:pserver:anonymous@pdx.freedesktop.org:2401/cvs/mesa

and checkout Mesa

Then, edit the xc/config/cf/host.def file and point MesaSrcDir (which
should be the second define) to the full path for the Mesa source.

And then "make World".

That should build the DRI without problems. If X still won't work for
you, drop me an e-mail (use the word "personal" somewhere in the subject
line or it'll get tagged as SPAM) and let me know.
